The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 1
INTRODUCTION
------------
TriBBS is one of the newest Bulletin Board Systems around. Although
TriBBS is a relatively new BBS, it comes equipped with many powerful
features:
Multinode Support - Although TriBBS 5.02 is an excellent single
line bulletin board system, it fully supports multinode
operation. Unlike many other bulletin board systems, you do not
have to pay extra for a multinode system. So when your board is
ready to expand, TriBBS will easily grow along with you at no
additional cost.
Multinode Chat - On multinode boards, TriBBS supports both node
to node chatting and group chats.
RIPScrip Graphics Support - TriBBS supports RIPScrip graphics.
RIPScrip graphics is the defacto standard for graphics terminal
emulation and by supporting RIPScrip graphics, TriBBS stays on
the leading edge of BBS software.
Zmodem - Not many other bulletin board systems can claim this
one. By offering Zmodem as a part of TriBBS, the sysop is
relieved from having to set it up as an external protocol.
Full Screen Editor - In addition to an excellent line editor,
TriBBS features a complete full screen editor to make message
entry as easy as possible.
Alias Support - TriBBS optionally supports the use of aliases in
message conferences and file areas.
Net Mail - TriBBS's message base structure provides extensive
support for net mail conferences. Netmail converters are
available for Fido<->TriBBS, PCRelay<->TriBBS, Postlink<->TriBBS,
and QWK<->TriBBS. Although these converters are an optional part
of TriBBS and not included in the TriBBS archive, they a readily
available for download on any TriBBS support board and are
supplied free of charge to all TriBBS sysops.
Compressed Message Base - Another unique feature to TriBBS is
its use of data compression on all messages. This can save a
great deal of valuable hard drive space. So if you plan on
setting up a board with a lot of networked conferences, TriBBS is
the system for you.
Doors - TriBBS can internally generate the door data files to run
most PCBoard, GAP (DOOR.SYS), Spitfire, WildCat, and RBBS doors.
By supporting these five major standards, TriBBS can run pretty
much any door program. By generating the door data files
